How Do I Blogger Day? A HDIB? Field Trip (Part I)

We all like to get some recognition for our efforts, as lackadaisical or erratic as they might be at times. Whether it’s winning the Perfect Attendance Award in elementary school* or Player of the Year, it’s nice to win and get that pat on the back sometimes.

I was part of a fortunate group of folks who had just that hoisted upon them and their efforts as Nats bloggers, in the form of an invite to Blogger Day, courtesy of the Washington Nationals and their department of New Media/Communications and the interwebs embodiment of said department – Curly W Live.

Yay.

While this blog has delved into other teams and baseball issues, in particular the medical aspects of the based balls, I have always kept a Nats slant to the majority of my posts here, as evidenced by the word cloud thingie you can see over on the right hand side; so with the criteria of being a Nats blog being loosely fulfilled, I decided to give it a shot and throw my name into the hat. While initially apprehensive about submitting my application, especially after my most recent Nats related pieces having painted a less than a rosy picture of some of the roster, I figured why the hell not.

So what all went down? Who was there? Who were the lucky few to have their permission slips signed to make this field trip?

Quite a few folks, some familiar faces and some new ones (to me, at least); here’s the flight manifest and their respective online and twitter presences – go bookmark and harass, yes?
